Why Sponsor?

Your sponsorship of the Connecting for Kids (CFK) Embrace the Pace 5K offers an exciting opportunity to promote your business at this inclusive community event. Plus, you will be providing much-needed funds to support CFK’s free programming, helping more than 3,000 local families annually.

Parents and caregivers contact CFK because they are concerned about their child and they are desperate to find help and resources. The top concerns we hear from local families are:

Mental Health Issues – like ADHD, anxiety and depression

Academic Concerns – including Dyslexia, learning difficulties and executive functioning issues

Disabilities – such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, developmental delays and sensory processing issues.
